QUESTION:

The water molecule has an \(l=1\) rotational level \(1.01\times 10^{-5}\mathrm{\ eV}\) above the \(l=0\) ground level. Calculate the wavelength and frequency of the photon absorbed by water when it undergoes a rotational-level transition from \(l=0\) to \(l=1\). The magnetron oscillator in a microwave oven generates microwaves with a frequency of 2450 MHz. Does this make sense, in view of the frequency you calculated in this problem? Explain.
